Pull-Only Clutch Cable for Buses & Trucks – Heat-Resistant,
Vibration-Tested, Fleet-Proven
This page is a focused technical extension of our Clutch Cable Overview, detailing our high-temperature and high-vibration clutch cable
variants for bus and heavy truck use.
Purpose-Built for Harsh Commercial Duty Cycles
In transit fleets like Yutong buses, King Long coaches, and
FAW/Sinotruk trucks, clutch cables must survive more than just
daily use. They endure:
• Constant stop-start actuation in traffic
• Engine bay heat exposure up to 120°C
• Long-stroke pedal cycles over hundreds of kilometers per day
• Frame vibration from diesel engines and uneven roads
Phidix Pull-Only Clutch Cables are engineered to meet these harsh realities.
Internal Structure Tailored for Performance
Layered Protection & Flex-Ready Build
| Component | Description |
|---|
| Core Wire | Nylon-coated 7×7 stainless steel for fatigue resistance |
| Conduit Wrap | Steel inner coil + flexible PP jacket (or PVC for cost-sensitive) |
| Outer Sheath | Flame-retardant black vinyl or heat-resistant polypropylene |
| End Termination | CA270, CA235, CA312, A183, clevis head, threaded rod |
| Optional Boot/Grommet | Seals against water, dust, and engine fluids |
⇒ Lab-tested to >300,000 full-stroke operations with <1.5mm
backlash increase.
Real-World Applications by Vehicle Type
| Vehicle Type | Use Case Description | Common Configs |
|---|
| Yutong Buses | Clutch pedal to bellcrank linkage | CA235-A-L / CA312-A-L |
| FAW Trucks | Long-stroke clutch actuator with dual routing bends | CA270-XXX / A183 Series |
| Shuttle Vans | Under-dash clutch cable replacement | CA236-A-L |

FAW vs Yutong Operational Case Highlights
| Scenario | Challenge | Phidix Solution |
|---|
| Urban bus in humid climate (Yutong) | Thermal soak, short-stroke fatigue | PP jacket + corrosion-proof clevis |
| Plateau truck in cold mornings (FAW) | -30°C startup stiffness | Nylon core + low-friction sheath + booted ends |
OEM Integration & Retrofit Support
Phidix supports both:
OEM Integration with clevis, spherical, or bolt-mount ends
Fleet Retrofitting with adjustable length options, bracket-ready
terminals
CAD matching and fitment drawings available.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What temperature ranges are supported by this cable?
A: Operating temperatures from –30°C to +120°C are standard. We also offer high-temp upgrades upon request.
Q2: Can this be used with non-Phidix control heads?
A: Yes. End fittings follow industry common sizes and thread specs. Custom interfaces available.
Q3: How is this different from the universal clutch cable?
A: This version is specifically optimized for harsh-duty fleet
environments, with stainless variants and tighter backlash
tolerance.
